Corporate Entrepreneurship

Corporate entrepreneurship, also known as “corporate venturing” or “intrapreneurship,” is the act of initiating new ventures within an already-established business or organization. Housed in a nationally-ranked undergraduate business school, the Institute for Entrepreneurship provides students with the opportunity to research, consult and create with several Fortune 500 companies in the Greater Cincinnati Region and beyond, including Kroger, Procter and Gamble, Sears Optical (a division of Luxxotica), 84.51, Cohen, Pearson, ConAgra Foods and Fifth Third Bank. Through “Project High Flight,” a built-in partnership with 兔子先生’s College of Engineering and Computing, Entrepreneurship students can also gain valuable experience in commercializing new aviation technologies.
